Does God need man as man needs God?

“Maulana, what does it mean that God needs man like man needs God, since we are taught that Allah is Samad—as Moses told his people that if you and all the people on earth become thankless, it will not affect God? Kindly comment.”Asked by Owais Siddiqui, Delhi

His answer, in his own words

maulana agla sawal aya hai doctor owais siddiqui ka dilli se. unhon ne likha hai maulana what does it mean that god needs man like man needs god. because we are taught that allah is samad. like moses told his people that if you and all the people on earth become thankless it wont affect god. kindly comment dekhen net banne lafz ne is sawal nahi kiya. main ne sirf yeh kaha ke khuda ko jo kuch dena hai to is ka panay wala kon ban sakta hai.

to khuda ko woh cheezen dena hai to kis ko dega? paharon ko dega, samundaron ko dega, sitaron ko dega, sayaron ko dega to woh kya karenge is ko le kar ke? kya karenge is ko le kar ke bataiye. yani behtareen qism ke aap phool hon khushbudar bohat beautiful aur is par aap ja ke chattan dal dein to chattan kya karega paharon ko le ke woh phoolon ko le kar ke. to net is sense mein nahi kaha jis sense mein aap dictionary mein likha rehta hai net is sense mein nahi kaha main ne.

woh net to muhtaji ke mani mein aata hai. yani aam taur par net ka matlab hota hai ke hum kisi cheez ke muhtaj hon. woh alag cheez hai. main ne sirf yeh kaha hai ke allah taala ke pas beshumar cheezen dene ki hain to to is ka qadradan kon hoga? insan hi to hoga aur kon hoga? kyunke jitni is kainat mein jo maloom cheezen hain in maloom cheezon mein kisi ke andar sense of enjoyment nahi hai. sense of pleasure nahi hai. sense of fulfillment nahi hai. yeh main ne kaha. net ko aap ne le liya ek negative sense mein to negative sense mein main ne nahi bola tha.
